Other Fuel System Tank Mounting Problems of Mercury Grand Marquis

My husband noticed (the week of August 11th 2014 that our gas tank was hanging loose, only held up by the filler hose. The straps had rusted out. He had just filled up the tank approx. A day or two before he noticed the gas tank hanging down. We had to have a tow truck take it to the mechanic for fear of sparks causing an explosion. Many older people have this car and it would be horrible if they didn't notice something like this and drove it on expressway with the tank hanging. We also reported to Ford mtr. Co. Quite some time ago that the gas pedal is close to the brake and that causes your foot to be partially on the break and the gas pedal. The car races a little ways ahead until you realize what is happening. We reported this quite some time ago to Lincoln Mercury but no one did anything about it. The gas tank is the most worrisome of the two defects. We did report this to Ford mtr. Co, today 08/20/2014. Thank you very much. I hope you are as concerned as we are. As for the break and gas pedal Lincoln Mercury dealer seemed to know this happens.
